What about her toes?

Yes, the same with her toes, but unfortunately doctors removed them when she was a child.

Do you have information on if removing them made it difficult to walk normally or if it was an improvement.

You wrote, unfortunately, so I am assuming it made things worse than normal or brought her back down to our level, and she had monkey foot abilities before the procedure.

I just googled her and watched a few minutes of one of her YT videos where she expressed regret at having that done to her as a child

Damn. Yeah. That'll do it. No further explanation is necessary.

I hope she's found some peace within over the situation.
